A/N: Ok. What am I supposed to say? TT Uh…here's chapter four.

Shrek's Life

Chapter 4

Shrek slammed the door to his house closed and turned to Puss. 'Take Princess Fiona on a trip to the beach and stall for time!' he hissed.

Puss saluted Shrek in reply. 'Will do, meenio!'

Turning to Princess Fiona, Shrek said, 'Puss was wondering if you would take him on a walk down to the beach with him, my dear.'

'Sure!' replied Princess Fiona.

'Let's go,' purred Puss as he led Princess Fiona off through the woods.

'What about me? Can I go to a diner and eat a lot of food?' asked Donkey hopefully.

'No,' replied Shrek glumly.

'Then there's only one thing left to do!' exclaimed Donkey.

'Yes. Clean up the house,' growled Shrek as he opened the door to his house.

Donkey's jaw dropped. 'I was thinking more on the lines of running away to join the circus.'

'You're already a walking stand up comedian, or so you think,' said Shrek. 'Now let's get to work before princess Fiona comes back.'

Shrek and Donkey started to clean.

'Do you think there's any chance of Fiona throwing Puss into the lake to drown?' asked Donkey as the sun began to set.

'No Donkey,' sighed Shrek.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Shrek opened the door as Donkey scrambled to make the bed.

'Hi!' exclaimed Fiona as Shrek opened the door. 'We had a nice walk!'

'That's good. Come on in,' smiled Shrek as he opened the door all the way.

Fiona and Puss gasped.

A/N: How did I do? Bad? Horrible? Down right crappy? Oh well. I just felt like I was kind of out of character in this chapter, that's all.
